From the lobby of the W San Francisco, Kevin Cochrane sits down with Jeff Denworth, co-founder of VAST Data, for a fireside conversation about building the infrastructure behind the AI era.

Jeff takes us inside VAST’s unconventional origin story, beginning its first year focused entirely on architecture.

They also get into the culture behind the company, the value of educating customers, a few startup stories that probably shouldn’t have worked, and Jeff’s philosophy that business is a lot better when you’re having fun along the way.

Clinking glasses and energy of the lobby included.

Kevin Cochrane sits down with Patrick Eden, CEO and co-founder of Palma AI.

Patrick has seen an infrastructure shift like this before. Before Palma, he co-founded Replex during the early rise of Kubernetes, and now he sees a similar moment unfolding around MCP and AI agents.

The conversation digs into what happens when agents move beyond answering questions and start accessing the real systems businesses run on. Patrick and Kevin break down permissions, zero-trust governance, enterprise adoption, European data sovereignty, and why giving AI more power only works if companies know exactly what that AI is allowed to do.

They also get into the parallels between MCP and Kubernetes, the realities of building for large enterprises, why “move fast and break things” doesn’t always work, and whether the bigger enterprise AI problem is hallucinations… or permissions.
